The dental implants process requires multiple appointments in our office. We require a consultation with each patient to discuss any goals, and to determine the best treatment plan. Once we are ready to begin the implant process, the first step involves placing the implant into the jawbone. After this step is complete there is a healing process that must occur.
The healing period allows the implant time to fuse to the jawbone through a process called osseointegration. This allows the implant to function like a natural tooth root in the mouth. In order for the implant to remain sturdy, and provide the required support, the patient must have enough bone present in the jaw. If necessary, bone grafts can be done to provide the additional support that is needed.
Once the healing process is complete, the patient returns to our office to complete the implant process. An abutment or connector is placed on top of the implant, and this holds the crown securely in place. Custom crowns are made to match the shape, size, and color of your natural teeth. Temporary crowns may be necessary until patients return to have the permanent crown installed.
We take all PPO dental insurance and medi-cal. Some insurances will cover some of the cost of dental implants. When you come in for your comprehensive dental exam we will check with your insurance and let you know how much they will cover.
We understand how important it is to be able to restore your dental health and your confidence with a long-term solution. That’s why we offer third-party financing options and work with you on payment plans to fit your budget. At your consultation, you’ll review all the options available to you.
Your first visit will consist of diagnostic records, an exam, a treatment plan tailored to your teeth, and financing options. Each patient’s implant treatment is different so we leave ample time for questions.
Next your dentist will place the dental implant. The doctor will prepare the area and place a specialalized metal posts where your new teeth will attach.
Once you've finished your treatment show off your new smile!
